If you were interested in sewing it ever just remember not to add zippers of any kind. Zippers weren't around for common use until like the late 20's I think. Also (and I know this will royally suck to do) try to do it by hand. The sewing machine wasn't invented until around the 1870's. If you go by these tiips the costume will definitely look authentic.

Ha, ha. Of course, I know that zippers are a very modern thing. It you put them in an ancient costume replica, at least you should hide them well.I'd like to know how to sew, but I guess I'm too lazy and unskillful for that.

Me too. I love designing, but when it comes to the actual sewing part I am at a loss. I mean, I do it, but I don't think I do it well. And you don't need to sew particularly cause you are so good at designing. Really you have talent.

Again this stunning work! It is a masterpiece in its own right. The line and form are completely flawless and the shading and dimension are impeccable! The intricate detial of each fold, decor and texture on the dress is an art lesson itself!

You are too benevolent! It has lots of mistakes, and I should have worked a lot more in the dress; I'm not very satisfied, indeed.But I appreciate very much your comment and I'm really glad you like it so much. I promise to draw something better next time.

This has a distinct feel of the courts of Louis XIV. Or something like that, I forget these eras by name. There's a slight dissonance in your style as you go from the girl to the dress. Where she's very clean and light, the dress almost looks... dirty, or... at least more detailed.
